| | It was quite unacceptable to Bindusara that one of his sons should marry a Buddhist, so he did not allow Ashoka to stay in Pataliputra, but instead sent him back to Ujjain and made him the governor of Ujjain. | | | While the early part of Ashoka's reign was apparently quite bloodthirsty, he became a follower of the Buddha's teaching after his conquest of Kalinga, on the east coast of India in the present-day state of Orissa. | | | He was treated by Buddhist monks and ladies. |

| | Dr. Marinoff explains the Buddhist concept of the "ten worlds," and introduces Nichiren as one of the representative philosophers of all ages and cultures, who challenged to reform the corrupt Japanese Buddhist schools of his day, and revitalized Buddhism for the sake of humanity's happiness. | | | At the gathering, participants studied Buddhist terms and concepts, such as Gohonzon (the fundamental object of respect in Nichiren Buddhism), ichinen sanzen (three thousand realms in a momentary state of existence) and the spirit of mentor and disciple. | | | SGI-Oceania Chair Richard Sasaki encouraged everyone to lead lives of absolute happiness with their Buddhist practice, as opposed to one that is dependent on relative happiness, which is fleeting. |

| | H-Net Review: Charles Muller on The Soka Gakkai Dictionary of Buddhism |
| | There is also a considerable amount of information on basic Indian Buddhist concepts, persons, deities, and so forth, which held continued influence in the schools of Buddhism that made their way into Japan. | | | In the context of this historical and doctrinal emphasis, there is extensive coverage of basic Indian terms and concepts, names of celestials, bodhisattvas, realms, heavens, mandalas, mudras, and so forth, that are likely to be met by the reader of scriptures and treatises from the Lotus, Shingon, or Pure Land traditions. | | | In this sense, to call it a "dictionary of Buddhism" is somewhat misleading, given the fact that representation of the Buddhist tradition as a whole is not even a consideration. |
